So, I'm going to order a TGI AK-74 from JG Sales, and I was wondering at what distances do some folks BZO their rifle at?

Isn't the traditional way to zero an AK-74 to set your rear sight at '1', establish POA/POI at 100m, then slide it back to the battle sight position, and you're set for 400m or somewhere around there?

I just set my sight to 300m/battle sight and zero'd at 25m, same principle as the US Army M16/M4 zero.

Tx-Zen explains the traditional 400m zero here. I imagine most people would probably just set it to 1 and get their 100 meter zero tuned in though.

The way a lot of people do it is to set up a target at 25 meters, set the rear sight on the "1" (100 meters) setting and sight in point of aim-point of impact.
This makes it easy to get on the paper without having hits off the target at 100 meters.

Then without moving the sight, sight in at 100 meters to insure you're hitting the target center.

Once set, you can shoot at any range by moving the sight to that distance, OR set the rear sight on the battle sight setting, which is the upside down "U" position and be able to hit a man at any range out to 400 meters.

The advantage here is that the marks on the sight are valid for different ranges but you still have a battle sight setting that doesn't require changing the sight.

Remember, the sight is in meters, and you need as close as you can get to a true 25 meter and 100 meter range.

'1' at 25m, then set at topsy turvy 'U' for 400m battle sight. Cool. Just made this a whole lot simpler for me, thanks.
